Important Notes
- Accuracy is key: Measure the cabinet opening width at multiple points. Cabinets may not be perfectly square.
- Slide Clearance: Most slides require 1/16″ to 1/8″ (1.5-3mm) of clearance on each side for smooth operation.
- Material Considerations: When using thicker materials, take into account the additional space occupied by the side panels.
- Dry Fit: Always perform a dry fit before final assembly. Make any necessary adjustments for your specific hardware.
